Well, any virus issues would, generally speaking, only effect Windows, so that's probably not what's going on. If yor computer is coming up with keyboard failure when you first start up the computer, that's pre-Windows, and it should probably halt your system right there.

Hi, welcome to this site
remember we are working blind so bare with us
to help others reply to your question
if you haven't mentioned it yet:
- what model of computer
- what os, XPpro or home = pro
- how old is it

to topic then
if it were just the mouse or just the keyboard I could walk you around this but as it is both, please do some things for me.
- first, disconnect all plugs the reconnect only the mains, mouse, keyborad and monitor(quessing that this is a desktop computer) see if it is just the connection
- do you get keyboard function in bios
- do you get keyboard function in safemode
